Operation

 

 

WATER LEVEL CHECK

Check the water level while the ice machine is in the ice mode and the water pump is running. The correct water level is 1/4”(6.3mm) to 3/8” (9.5mm) below the top of the standpipe a line in the water trough indicates the correct level.

SIPHON CAP

ICE BRIDGE THICKNESS CHECK

The ice thickness probe is factory-set to maintain the ice bridge thickness at 1/8” (3.2 mm).

1.Inspect the bridge connecting the cubes. It should be about 1/8” (3.2 mm) thick.

2.If adjustment is necessary, turn the ice thickness probe adjustment screw clockwise to increase bridge thickness, or counterclockwise to decrease bridge thickness.

NOTE: Turning the adjustment 1/3 of a turn will change the ice thickness about 1/16” (1.5 mm).

ADJUSTING SCREW

SET THE WATER LEVEL

TO THE LINE IN THE

WATER TROUGH

Water Level

The float valve is factory-set for the proper water level. If adjustments are necessary:

1.Verify the ice machine is level (see page 2-4).

2.Remove the siphon cap from the standpipe.

3.Place the main ON/OFF/WASH toggle switch to the ON position, and wait until the float valve stops adding water.

4.Adjust the water level to (1/4" to 3/8" (6.3 to 9.5 mm) below the standpipe) the line in the water trough:

5.Loosen the two screws on the float valve bracket.

6.Raise or lower the float valve assembly as necessary, then tighten the screws.

7.Move the main ON/OFF/ WASH toggle switch to the OFF position. The water level in the trough will rise above the standpipe and run down the drain.

8.Replace the siphon cap on the standpipe, and verify water level and siphon action by repeating steps 3 through 5.

1/8” ICE BRIDGE THICKNESS

Ice Thickness Check

Make sure the ice thickness probe wire and the bracket do not restrict movement of the probe.
